Oh yeah there is, Brady, he is always in the discussion somehow and if they make a big run and Brady starts come from behind magic look out. The other aspect is lets see where the Cheifs end up come the play offs, Andy Reid has always had bad luck it seems when his teams get there.

If he keeps up at this pace even Brady won’t be able to snatch the MVP trophy. 7 games in he is on pace for 50 touchdown passes. If we weren’t almost half way through the season you could call it a fluke, but the odds of him not hitting at least 40 TDs is getting smaller every day, and if he hits 40 he’s almost sure to get it. 9 games to get 18 td passes for a guy who has hit at least 3 for 63% of his starts.

Not to mention the impending return of Houston and Berry.

They’d have to have unusual bad luck to not get a great playoff position. Assuming they come back, I think things will go differently this time for the Chiefs.

But even if Mahomes doesn’t win the MVP, he’s still played at a level high enough that many rounds of crow should be served. Because if “See? He didn’t win the MVP!” is where the goal posts have been moved, I’d say the argument about him is over.

He's lined up well for the MVP, but the chiefs have the look of a hot team with a new QB which will get knocked outta of the playoffs. Good job for Mahomes, but we'll need to watch year two of starting to get a better feel for his ability or he might pull a Dak and come back to earth.

Mahomes is a far better fundamentally at the QB position than DAK. I don't foresee him having much of a slump.

Well said.

If the Chiefs don't win it will be because of their defense.

And, I mean, Mahomes is set up for success in that he's got an innovative offense that's designed for him to succeed and he's surrounded by an exceptional group of skill players, but that doesn't take anything away from him.

If anything, he's on the VERY high end of what we expected from him: he's kind of high variance in that he misses some easy things and makes some mistakes, but even with all of the cards in his favor he's still making magic out of horse sh!t on a fair number of plays too.

Geez he’s at it again. So far 3 more TDs in 17-23 passing. We’ll see if he has a meltdown, but so far it appears to be a different week, same story: Mahomes playing like the MVP. I was a bit irritated when Lynch passed on him last year, but most people were counting on the spread offense dropping him in the draft. Now I’m starting to be really pissed at Lynch for it. Mahomes is every bit the high character young man as Thomas, so what was the point of drafting Thomas when Armstead and Buckner were already here? I love Garoppolo and the quick decision making and release he has. But I’d take Mahomes over him in an instant. He does the same things but with a Favre-like rocket arm.

God I can’t keep doing this to myself.

Edit- Scratch that ^^^ In the time it took to make that post he threw TD number 4. Smmfh.
